Resident 2019 - 2020

Absolutely not worth it. Being close to the football stadium is nice but once the season ends you realize you're paying a premium for the next 8 months without much in return. If you have moderate allergies or asthma then good luck. They didn't listen… See More >

    I have been leaving here since the end of Oct 2018 and my personal experience here has been a nightmare. The staff ( specially Mr. Dent) has done nothing to assist me in concerns about ridiculous fees and room conditions since moving in. They failed… See More >

        Living at Univeristy Oaks/21 Oaks was absolutely horrible. Maintnance took forever and my roomates moped even got stolen because they gates were WIDE OPEN. On top of that, I was finally told that the staff found somebody to take over my lease around December 27th… See More >

          Do not sign a lease here. It's a complete trap. We are on day 9 of being without a dryer that actually works. Day 1 (Monday April 2nd) my roommate submits the dryer service request. Wednesday April 4th, I submit another service request for the… See More >

            I love this community because though it is one of the more cheaper options for students, it does not lack in quality. The way the residence is set up, CAs are involved and create 21 Oaks into an active community.

              For the price, 21 oaks is a great choice. Utilities are included in rent, making it easier to have just one payment each month. The office gives out food a lot which is nice too. The locks/doors should be updated.

                  I really enjoy living at 21 Oaks. The staff is really welcoming and friendly and is quick to assist you with anything you may need. They host a lot of events for residents that are actually enjoyable.

                    DO NOT SIGN A LEASE HERE! While the grounds are nice, shuttle is decent (mostly late), and the rooms are okay, the manager, property manager, and leasing manager couldn't care less about your problems! It takes them over a month to fix a washer and… See More >

                          Its a decent apartment for college students. All the staff I have encountered has been really friendly and polite. The shuttle isn't great though. That is the main thing that could really use some work… See More >

                              Pretty decent for student housing, it's not super nice but good for the price. The shuttles aren't the most reliable, but they get you to class and back for the most part. Stuff does break, but maintenance will usually fix it if you put in… See More >

                                    Apartment is decent for being one of the cheaper options for college students. Old management was horrible but management just changed so maybe new management will be better.

Price is fairly decent considering the outrageous prices of other student apartment communities. Overall very clean as well.
